#I love my therapist

[twotales]

Me: I've been writing a lot lately

Therapist: Oh yeah? What are you writing?

Me: Oh- uh- nothing really just fanfic 😅

Therapist: Fanfic is writing, you have been doing it for over twenty years. It's something you love and there is nothing wrong with that. Nobody bats an eye when people write cover music, or a movie based on a book. It is not nothing, it's a big deal, especially for you and the community you share it with.

Me: sniffling 🥹 okay

distance relationship

[tychos-huzband]

when i explained to my therapist that i sometimes imagine myself venting to my blorbos and often play video games and watch youtube videos to try and feel safe in my house/escape the reality of this world etc she was like "whatever makes you feel safe and happy until you can get away, i want you to do it." and she genuinely like feels bad for me and cares and it's like. damn

also when i mentioned it felt like all the days are sort of just melding together she said it was a depression thing so that's neat i guess

w jennifer the #1 therapist shoutout lindsay rojas former #1 for referring me to her when she quit

Talked about Monday's meltdown around the intimacy topic. As I'm trying to describe what happened when I dissociated in session (and the subsequent drunken spiral), I started to shut down again, curling into myself. Hiding. Every single time when her comes up.

I barely could say that I'm afraid something happened, but I just don't remember anything. That whole time period is a massive black hole. T said he hadn't forgotten about the secret I told him a few months ago. Immediately flinched and turned away, covering my face.

After a few moments, T asked me to look at him. I slowly shook my head, barely able to move. He asked again, saying he wants me to see him when he says this. Still covering part of my face, I quickly glanced at him. He said, "Look at me. There is nothing for you to be ashamed of. You were made to feel bad about yourself. You were made to feel like you needed to hide. And it is not your fault. You were a child. And it is not your fault."

My face crumbled. Every time I tried to look away and hide, T continued pointing at his eyes. For me to maintain eye contact, guiding me through lowering my hands and sitting up straight. I kept crying I want to hide. Smiling with care, he said, "You don't need to hide anymore. You have a voice. You have a therapist, a psychiatrist, people all around you who care about you and want you in their lives. You are good and worthy. No more hiding."

“listen, he has the emotional capacity of a breadstick.”

-my therapist about my ex

[keter-kan]

The way (and I love her so much) my therapist is LITERATE?!?! I sit down with an I Feel statement and this warm and kindhearted woman smiles at me and READS ME FRONT, BACK, UPSIDE DOWN, AND FUCKING BACKWARDS like I know it's her job to Explain the Things to Me but she has just read, reread, annotated, and written an analytical essay on my emotional intelligence and mental health. When she hits me with the "I think we should unpack that :)" i KNOW I'm about to get the spark notes on the last three chapters fed to me like a baby bird.

I wore my hatsune miku shirt to therapy today

We go to our therapist with media pretty much whenever we have the chance to consume it. We struggle with the more subtle idealizations, like extreme violence as necessary to canon or power as an attractive trait. Our therapist occasionally asks us whether interacting with this media is in our best interests… like they don’t do exactly the same thing. Don’t pretend like we haven’t seen the other tabs on screenshare. I know you talk to your therapist about the same damn thing, and he’s got the same problem. We’re all like this. That’s why it’s harm reduction and not abstinence.

POV: you’re telling your therapist about all the good advice your parents have given you over the years, and then she says that you don’t have to do that because it could be mentally injuring, and then you just rethink about everything your parents have ever said.

Getchu a therapist who purchases herself a certification course so she can understand autism better and be better able to help you when you bring up potentially being autistic to her

TW: DV

Hearing my therapist mention today how my C-PTSD diagnosis stems from being in an extended domestic violence/domestic abuse situation really put things into perspective how badly my abusers fucked me up. Like, I knew it felt bad but I didn’t realize HOW bad it actually was.

[oh-my-damn]

Y'all think you're in therapy but you're not in therapy like I'M in therapy

God I love my therapist. Best in the business fr
